Great course

I love this course cause it’s difficult always in great shape. This course will test every club in your bag. If you get good at the ridge you will be able to play anywhere. The staff is always great cart girl even on weekdays.

You must play this course

This course offers a challenging layout in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is in great condition and ready to be challenged by your golf game. The greens are medium fast and true, and the fairways are in great shape. I will be back soon to play this course again.

The ridge

Course was immaculate, staff is always friendly. Cart women were entertaining and kind. Greens are extremely difficult to read for beginners and those unfamiliar with the course. Tight fairways and multiple hazards.overall top 5 course in the Sacramento region

A challenging but fair course

I've played this course many times, and it never disappoints. Always in good to great condition, greens are fast and in good condition. Same with fairways, always in good shape, with very few bare or muddy spots.

Accuracy off the tee is extremely important, there are plenty of trees lining the fairways which will require punching out if you go off line. The good thing is that the ball can usually be found, unless you really go offline.

Beautiful but Difficult Course in the Sierra Foothills

A scenic, difficult course in beautiful shape. Lots of bunkers. Course play is typically reasonable, until you hit fivesome, which is never a good situation.
